Matthew, Tanya, and ScottBringing Manufacturing Back to the USA!

The trio behind Maker's Row, a twice funded startup in Brooklyn, New York, each discovered CollabFinder at just the right time. Tanya and Matthew had just started working on the idea behind Maker's Row - a platform to revitalize manufacturing in the United Sates - and saw Brooklyn Beta's Summer Camp program as the perfect launching pad. Problem was, they needed a designer. As luck would have it, Scott, a fantastic designer looking to leave behind the freelance life, had just joined CollabFinder and was also looking for a team to apply to the Summer Camp program with. Tanya reached out to Scott, who jumped on board. Brooklyn Beta accepted these three adventurers into their program and the rest is history.

“We loveeee CollabFinder! I honestly don't know where our product would be without it.”

“We really hit it off... we all have that entrepreneurial spirit, with a strong desire to innovate and grow. I'm grateful for CollabFinder. Without it, I would have never met Tanya and Matthew, and I'd still be doing client services work.”
